Custom HMS with full M1/M2/M3 NHA certification + SACHIS portal compliance. 180+ Varanasi hospitals empanelled under AB-PMJAY + HEM 2.0 need this.
Varanasi serves as a major healthcare hub for eastern UP, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh — patients travel from 5+ districts for tertiary care. The city has 180+ AB-PMJAY empanelled hospitals ranging from government super-specialty (BHU's Sir Sunderlal Hospital) to corporate chains (Apollo Hospital Varanasi) to mid-size private facilities (Heritage, Galaxy, Marwari). Varanasi's tourist + pilgrim economy adds an unusual dimension — many out-of-state AB-PMJAY beneficiaries seek treatment here, making cross-state ABDM record portability (M3 HIU functionality) particularly valuable. SACHIS's HEM 2.0 enforcement reached Varanasi in Q1 2026 with multiple physical audits underway. Codingclave provides remote ABDM compliance support with monthly on-ground visits for Varanasi hospitals.
🏠 Local advantage: Varanasi's role as eastern UP's healthcare hub means M3 HIU (cross-hospital record portability) is unusually valuable for these hospitals — out-of-state patients increasingly arrive with ABHA-linked records from their home cities.

Enterprise
₹25L-₹40L+
24-36 weeks
Large hospitals (200-500 beds) + specialty hospitals + multi-location chains.
Varanasi hospitals empanelled under AB-PMJAY + HEM 2.0 need both national NHA M1/M2/M3 certification (for hospital management software) AND state-level compliance via SACHIS (HEM 2.0 mandatory January 2026). Total compliance cost typically ₹6L-₹15L for ABDM bolt-on on existing HMS, ₹14L-₹40L for full custom HMS + ABDM build.
Varanasi has approximately 180+ AB-PMJAY + HEM 2.0-empanelled hospitals as of 2026. Key facilities include BHU Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Apollo Hospital Varanasi, Heritage Hospital, Galaxy Hospital and many more across the city. All must comply with both state scheme requirements + national ABDM M1/M2/M3 certification.
AB-PMJAY + HEM 2.0 is the Uttar Pradesh state administration of AB-PMJAY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana) plus state-specific add-ons via SACHIS. Hospitals empanelled under AB-PMJAY + HEM 2.0 get scheme revenue + must comply with state portal documentation + national ABDM. HEM 2.0 mandatory January 2026 is the specific compliance requirement for Varanasi hospitals in 2026.
Yes — significantly. Varanasi hospitals see higher proportion of out-of-state patients (15-30% in tertiary facilities) vs typical UP cities (5-10%). These patients increasingly arrive with ABHA-linked records from home cities — making M3 HIU certification (ability to pull external records) particularly valuable. Hospitals without M3 cannot leverage these patients' digital history, leading to duplicate tests + worse care continuity. We prioritize M3 implementation early for Varanasi hospitals.
Active enforcement underway — SACHIS team conducting physical audits at empanelled private hospitals across Varanasi. We're aware of multiple Varanasi hospitals that received audit notices in Q1-Q2 2026. Common findings: missing ABDM HMS certification, incomplete SACHIS portal documentation, infrastructure photo gaps. Recommendation for Varanasi hospitals: complete HEM 2.0 documentation immediately + start ABDM HMS upgrade in parallel.
Yes — monthly scheduled visits during active projects. Lucknow to Varanasi is 300km, 5-6 hour drive. We bundle multiple Varanasi hospital visits per trip. Most coordination is remote (Zoom + WhatsApp), but key milestones (initial discovery, SACHIS audit prep, staff training, go-live) can include on-ground presence. Faster than waiting weeks for Bengaluru/Mumbai vendors to fly out.
Two Varanasi-specific factors: (1) Many hospitals in older areas (Godowlia, Lanka, Bhelupur) have legacy infrastructure that needs careful documentation under HEM 2.0 (older buildings may not match modern compliance norms easily); (2) Multi-language patient interaction (Hindi + Bhojpuri + Bengali for cross-border patients) — your HMS UI should support Hindi at minimum. Both addressable in standard ABDM bolt-on + customization.
